While candid photos are great for sparking stories, getting professional photos taken is also a great idea for showcasing your family history. If you’re thinking about getting family photos done, consider things like a meaningful location, a color palette for everyone’s outfits, and props that your kids will enjoy. Family portraits are wonderful to have around your home, but saving them for your kids, grandkids, and their grandkids turns them into timeless treasures that will allow them to deep-dive into their personal history.
